Caught in the Middle

Alex the Astronaut

Hello stranger,
Can I take your coat?
I haven′t seen your face in agesEveryone we know is out the back and they're painting
Pictures of the lives
They′ve been making

George has been smoking a lot these days
He said in the grand scheme of things it's okay
Jen's been working too much and she won′t stop
But now they′re both learning the low light of love

They're caught in the middle of it
Caught in the middle of it
Everyone is singing
But they don′t really know what to sing

Back inside, there's smiles and hugs and champagne fly
Sam told us his baby is coming
In Paris he found out his baby is coming

Now he′s caught in the middle of it
Caught in the middle of it
Oh everyone is singing
They don't really know what to sing

I don′t know where I'm going or what I'll be
But somehow I′ve managed to land on my feet
Oh you should have seen it
You won′t believe it
Thousands of people singing back at me

Now I'm caught in the middle of it
Caught in the middle of it
When everyone is singing
But they don′t really know what to sing

They don't know the words
But it doesn′t stop them joining in

Push the couch back someone's on the table
Mark plays the air guitar it′s his stage
And everyone is dancing around it's so late
But no one even noticed until the police came

Just caught in the middle of it
Caught in the middle of it
Everyone is singing
But they don't really know what to sing

And everyone is dancing
But don′t know where the hell to begin

Goodbye stranger, take your time
Plant your seeds it′ll all be alright
You'll grow up and know more and see
Happier times than you could have dreamed
You′re just caught in the middle of it
Caught in the middle of it
Oh everyone is singing
But they don't really know what to sing

Everyone is chasing after the life that they′re in

Christmas in July

I thought I knew it all
But I was the captain of moving too fast
So when my ships sank out in front
I was left all alone

Then when we met there was quiet
Your slow silhouette stood still by me and I didn't blink
No, I hadn′t seen anything

Christmas in July is coming true
The Grinch has come to dine with all the Whos
Got all the presents I was hoping to
I love you

You're safety and ease
So what happens when both of us leave
Can I find you
And where will we be
Will we still have our home

I don't know about God
But a silent hand keeps me calm
I′d been looking for you for so long
For our time I′ll be calling out

Christmas in July is coming true
Grinch has come to dine with all the Whos
Got all the presents I was hoping to because
I love you

I was afraid
I would break all the china
The glass balls
That I had a problem inside

Now the lights are turned on
The colours are bright
All the carols and choirs
Christmas in July is coming true

So through the stars
Right past Jupiter Saturn and Mars
I'll be stood by you holding your arm
Riding right through the dark
Watching the moments pass

And even the plain things
On the days when we′re both home for lunch
Sitting side by side out in the sun
I am the luckiest one

Christmas in July is coming true
The Grinch has come to dine with all the Whos
Got all the presents I was hoping to
I love you
Yes, I love you
